019 Fighting for the position of daimyo (2)

Perhaps out of caution, His Highness only said that he was from a wealthy family and did not dare to admit that he was the eldest son of a daimyo.

But Yujuro can understand it if he thinks about it, after all, he has just been chased.Although his life was not in danger for the time being, he suddenly found himself in a strange place, facing four unknown people, who might even have malicious intentions.Basically, any person with a normal IQ would not reveal his or her personal details at will, right?

"Don't be nervous, we won't hurt you. If we really want to hurt you, why wait until now?"

Perhaps Yujuro's explanation had an effect, and His Highness' expression became somewhat more relaxed.However, he was wary and never wanted to tell his true identity.Instead, he sat on the bed and thanked Yujuro and others repeatedly, hoping to let him go back quickly.

Seeing this situation, Yujuro couldn't torture him to extract a confession, so he had no choice but to bring the prisoner up.

"Master, there is no rush to let you go. We happened to have captured a prisoner, and you just happened to meet him to see if it was a vendetta against someone you know." After Yujuro said this, he didn't wait at all. His Highness's reaction was to directly ask Mahat to help bring the prisoner back, so as to force His Highness to tell the truth.

When His Highness saw that things had come to this, he could only wait and see what would happen, "Well, it just so happens that I also want to know who wants to take my life." His Highness's words were not considered false, because he still I really don’t know who wants to kill him.

Although he knew that this was either his stepmother or his uncle's instigation, everyone wanted him to die quickly so that he could have a chance to inherit the position of daimyo.But he had no evidence to prove this, so it made sense to listen to what the prisoner had to say.

As for why Yujuro and others didn't make it clear to His Highness face to face and clearly stated their plan to help him ascend to the position of daimyo.

This is because if you are too proactive, you will appear to be begging for His Highness, which will put you at a disadvantage in future cooperation.Therefore, if possible, we should find a way to get His Highness to ask for their help instead of them actively proposing cooperation.

Such two approaches, one positive and one negative, will bring about very different results!

Soon, Mahat brought the prisoners over.

As soon as the prisoner entered the door and saw His Highness, he knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy: "Your Highness! I was just ordered to hunt you down. I was really killed." I am so desperate, I just ask Your Highness to treat me like a fart, I promise that I will always remember your kindness in the future..."

Perhaps this prisoner mistakenly thought that Yujuro and others were following orders from His Highness, so he began to beg His Highness for mercy as soon as he entered the door, for fear that His Highness would kill him in anger.Although if he returns without success, the Daimyo Lady may not be able to spare him, but it is better than dying now.

And if there is nothing he can do, the worst he can do is to move away from home.

As for taking refuge in His Highness's tent anyway, he still didn't dare.After all, he was involved in the assassination of His Highness directly. Even if His Highness could ascend to the position of daimyo in the future, would he, the person who once planned to assassinate the daimyo, have a good end?

As the saying goes, if you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide?As long as His Highness can let him go, he already feels very lucky.

"Your Highness? It turns out that the young master is His Highness from the Kingdom of Kawa! It's really disrespectful." At this time, Yujuro also took advantage of the opportunity to reveal the identity of His Highness to tell him that everyone is smart and stop pretending.

"Who sent you here?" His Highness asked the prisoner first.

Although the prisoner was a little confused, hadn't he honestly explained these issues before?But he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and still answered honestly that he was sent by the Daimyo Lady...

"I knew it was that vixen!" His Highness became furious when he heard that it was the person sent by his stepmother.

But after getting angry, His Highness became frightened.Because he knew that his brother had actually received support from the Kingdom of Wind and the Sand Ninja Village, which meant that it would be difficult for him to regain the daimyo position that originally belonged to him, unless he could get support from Konoha.

It's just unclear whether Konoha supports him and whether he is willing to directly confront the Suna Ninja again less than a year after the war ended.

Although Konoha will not watch the Kingdom of Wind monopolize the power of the Kingdom of Kawa, it does not mean that Konoha will resist by supporting him to become a daimyo.Maybe when the time comes, Konoha and Suna Ninichi negotiate and decide to jointly divide the interests of Kawa no Kuni, and then his brother will still be the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni.

And he may end up being regarded as a victim to quell the dispute.Even if he can save his life, he will definitely be used as a means to threaten his younger brother, and thus become a hostage who will lose his freedom forever...

As for whether his father is alive or dead now, he doesn't care much.

Ever since His Highness' father found a stepmother for him, the relationship between the two of them has become worse and worse, and if it weren't for his father's consideration of the power of his biological mother's family, the main ministers in the court would not agree to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one. If so, his position as first-in-line heir would have been taken away by his younger brother.

So His Highness, who almost went to Santuchuan, now hates his father, his stepmother, and his half-brother very much.But he found that he was so powerless and could not avenge himself at all.

After seeing His Highness's heavy face, Yujuro asked Mahat to help take the prisoner down and lock him up, and then pretended to be concerned and asked: "Your Highness, are you worried about anything? Come out and maybe we can help you think of a solution."

His Highness, who was originally struggling with where to go, remembered that he still had a problem to solve after hearing Yujuro's voice.And this trouble is Yujuro and others.

Although Yujuro was very polite and friendly to His Highness, His Highness still saw that Yujuro had ulterior motives.

Because Yujuro clearly knew everything he wanted to know from the prisoner's mouth. Otherwise, why would the prisoner start explaining the questions as soon as he saw His Highness?You must know that the fearful look cannot be faked casually!

But Yujuro still pretended not to know anything and did not directly identify His Highness. This shows that Yujuro has an agenda.And judging from his very calm appearance, the picture is probably very big!

"I can't repay you for your life-saving kindness. I just don't know who you are. Can you tell me something so that I can repay you in the future!" However, without any information, His Highness could not analyze anything. So I directly asked about the identities of Yujuro and others.
